(ANSA) – MILAN, 04 NOV – It’s the night of the Ax Milano’s dreams. First sold out of the season and solitary first place in the Euroleague (7-1) after beating Barcelona (75-70) in the direct clash between the top teams, remake of the heart-pounding semifinal of Colonial. A race conducted for large stretches and in which Olimpia sent a message to everyone, thanks to a luxury defense that keeps the bogey Mirotic (the highest paid player in Europe, 5 million net) at only 10 – irrelevant – points. The Milan attack, on the other hand, still needs to be registered because the knockout blow is missing twice and, not scoring for 6 consecutive minutes at the beginning of the fourth period, ends up putting Barcelona back into the game with a 0-14 run that gives the first advantage to the opponents 5’10 ” from the end (63-61). But it is Datome with 5 points in a minute – including a triple with a foul – to play the charge and close the accounts, certifying his proof as a mvp (17 points with +18 plus / minus). “We are a great team – explains the Sardinian -, we dropped but in the end I made a couple of important pitches”.

“Our mistake – underlines coach Messina – was to stop circulating the ball. We are first, it means that we are giving our best”. The Forum explodes, Giorgio Armani rejoices: Milan, at the tenth consecutive victory in the Euroleague at the Forum, looks at everyone from above. (HANDLE).
